Let's talk about B Rank Tomeliths.

[Kyani]

In Seal Rock, B ranks aren't that great - you shouldn't ignore them, but you should seriously consider how many points that B rank is actually worth to you. If you control one from 100 -> 0, is worth 80 points, in 40 ticks of 2 points. Realistically, they'll be worth 0-50 by the time you get a tag, which is barely worth your time if everything goes perfect.

What you should be doing, however, is attempting to flank the other teams. If the other two teams are fighting, and you can flank at an angle that lets you retreat, it's almost always better to prioritize kills rather than B ranks.

Kills are important for a few reasons - they stop fever from building up, they scatter enemy forces, and, most importantly.. they're worth a lot of points. A kill is always worth at least 5 points, and realistically at least 10. Even a handful of kills is better than flipping a B rank node, and a slaughter is worth as much or more than an A, if you're getting Highs/Fevers.

Sure. As soon as Flames leave adders alone when Maelstrom over there is sitting on their 2 cave nodes.

I'm perfectly fine when Flames are hitting mael on beach and we're sitting with two cave nodes, though!

I agree, but the quoted part isn't entirely true.

I'm fairly certain that killing enemies w/ some rank of battle fever gives a point bonus, much like slaughter. I often see kill-based score changes in the end-game results window that are not multiples of 5, and this is the most reasonable explanation I could find for it.

I agree with absolutely everything you said, though. Just that kills are always worth at least 5 points.

False. Points get transferred. If you kill someone from a GC that has less than 5 points (or 0), you gain less/nothing out of it. I mean realistically you shouldnt be atacking the GC that's far behind or have no nodes...but there's no helping it they are the one that's attacking your claims.

Ah, true. I hadn't really considered that.

So, kills are worth at least 5 points unless the enemy GC in question has less than that, in which case you get only that many.

Farming your battle high against noobs , priceless.

Why choose? Get the B rank AND flank the other team, picking off the stragglers before retreating to regroup/defend node/ prepare for the next node. #pvp!!!!!
